While it’s not technically in Florida, the Hangout Music Festival on the beach in Gulf Shores, Ala., is still one of the biggest and brightest music fests on the Gulf Coast, and with recent headliners like Tom Petty, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and the Foo Fighters, it’s easy to see how it might be worth the drive.

Obviously, a lot of these acts are already booked elsewhere in Tampa Bay: Outkast, Tegan and Sara and Chance the Rapper will play Big Guava; the Flaming Lips and Trombone Shorty are at Gasparilla; Queens of the Stone Age, Avett Brothers and Amos Lee are among those with solo shows around town. Still, this lineup gives us hope we might see more concerts by the Black Keys, the Killers or Jack Johnson elsewhere in Florida this spring.

Tickets to the 2014 Hangout Music Festival start at $229 and can be purchased at HangoutMusicFest.com.
